Introducing Vasto

Not far from the border with Molise, Vasto is a lively, hill-top town with an atmospheric medieval quarter and some great sea views. Two kilometres downhill is the popular resort of Vasto Marina, a strip of hotels, restaurants and camp sites fronting a long sandy beach.

Much of Vasto’s centro storico dates from the 15th century, a golden period in which the city was known as ‘the Athens of the Abruzzi’.
